Posted March 03, 2017 13:38:05 The Tasmanian Government has unveiled tougher laws to address what it calls an "epidemic of evading police on the road". Drivers may be arrested if Tasmania Police "reasonably believe" they have evaded officers, and the laws allow suspected offenders to be arrested at a later stage.

Posted March 03, 2017 13:36:28 Pauline Hanson is nibbling at the Left as much as she is chomping on the Right. And some of the ideas being revisited in the Opposition are, according to folk inside the Labor Party, partly driven by a belief that the best way to deal with the rise of One Nation is to articulate a progressive economic agenda.

Posted March 03, 2017 13:13:04 A week is a long time in politics - or so the old adage goes. Keen to know who's ended the week on top? Fran Kelly and Patricia Karvelas, hosts of the Party Room podcast, pick their winners and losers.

Selecting a term

Phrases (e.g. "cloud computing") — use quotes to keep the terms together

Twitter handles (e.g. @username) — returns those who have mentioned or replied to
given user

Names (e.g. "David Pogue")

Hashtags (e.g. #sxsw, #london2012)

Bio details (e.g. vegan, Olympics, father)

Advanced terms

Muck Rack's Advanced Search allows for many boolean operators.

AND

Find results that mention multiple specified terms, use AND or
+. For example, ensure each result contains both Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg by
searching Obama AND Romney or Obama + Romney.

OR

Use the operators OR or , to broaden your search when you'd like either of
multiple terms to appear in results. (This is the default behavior of our search when no operators
are used.) For example, search for democrat OR republican to find results that refer to
Democrats and/or Republicans.

NOT

Use NOT or - to subtract results from your search. For
example, searching Disney will yield results about the Walt Disney Company as well as Walt Disney
World Resort. To exclude mentions of Disney World, search for Disney -World or Disney
NOT World.

Phrases

When using one of these operators with a phrase, enclose it in quotation marks. For example, you can
find results about smartphones excluding Apple's iPhone 4S by searching smartphone -"iPhone
4s".

Exact case matching or punctuation

If you're searching for a brand name or keyword that relies on specific punctuation marks or capitalization, you can
find results that match your exact query by adding matchcase: before the keyword you're searching for, like matchcase:E*TRADE .

Combining operators

Use parentheses to separate multiple
boolean phrases. For example, to find journalists talking about having fun in Disney World or
Disneyland, search for ("disney world" OR disneyland) AND fun.

Asterisk

An asterisk can be used to search for any variation of a root word truncated by the asterisk. For example, searching for admin* will return results for administrator, administration, administer, administered, etc.

Near

A near operator is an AND operator where you can control the distance between the words. You can vary the distance the near operation uses by adding a forward slash and number (between 0-99) such as strawberries NEAR/10 "whipped cream", which means the strawberries must exist within 10 words of "whipped cream".
